[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1963760, member: 590800"] Using the ESPN score predictors (I consider ESPN to more or less be a joke but not sure how else to approach this) on the app regarding the things we need to happen outlined above that are NOT in our control... [B]2. [/B]35.6% chance of Iowa losing at Nebraska. [B]3. [/B]70.6% chance of Nebraska losing at Wisconsin. [B]4.[/B] 41.2% chance of Wisconsin losing at Minnesota. Personally, I think the odds for #2 should be way higher (close to 50/50), the odds for #3 should be lower (maybe 60/40) and the odds for #4 and should be higher (closer to 50/50). Of course, this is the part the team can focus on: 1A) 24.9% chance of Illini beating Iowa. 1B) 58.8% chance of Illini beating Northwestern. In simple terms, beat Iowa and we can REALLY start to dream of Indy. Numbers 2-4 are not outlandish in the slightest, especially since we need the home team to win every time. P.S. How Iowa is it to have a 75.1% chance of winning a game where they are only 3-point favorites at home. :ROFLMAO: [/QUOTE]
